I'm going to cc this message to both groups and see if anybody has a solution. Here's the info: bash# netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default ns3.best.com UGSc 4 0 tun0 localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 ns3.best.com bsampley UH 5 10 tun0 bash# routed bash# kill 1733 [routed] bash# netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default ns3.best.com UGSc 4 0 tun0 localhost localhost UH 0 225 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 ns3.best.com bsampley UH 5 124 tun0 bsampley localhost UH 0 199 lo0 bash# Anybody know what I need to change so the routing table looks liks the second version without having to run and kill routed? --- Brought to you by a 100% Micro$oft free system.
